I will tag along for the first week of their UK tour. 7 shows in 7 days, hitting a few towns I've never been before (Newcastle, Brighton). Really looking forward to that. The band is going all out. They have UK tour T-shirts printed up, which I've seen and think are really cool. And of course they'll have their CDs, vinyls and cassettes. Selling merch is where they make most of their money.

For whatever reason, Leggy has always been received better in the UK than they have here in the US. This will be my 3rd time in 4 years catching them in the UK (I missed one year). I'll be the merch guy during that one week.

I am now back from that week in the UK where I was the merch guy for Leggy. And you were right, MK. Brighton turned out to be the highlight of the trip for me. Just absolutely nice little seaside town with lots of great crooked streets and bars and shops. Plus the weather cooperated nicely for the 24 hrs. we were there, so that was even better.

Last week was of course a tumultuous week in British politics. That Boris Johnson guy is right up there with Trump from all I see. Just nuts. When we got to London, I immediately went to Westminster to check out the demonstrations (mostly anti-brexit). I have never felt such a charged atmosphere in London ever before.
